About Us

Working Women's Centres are not-for-profit, community organisations that support women employees or women who wish to work, whatever their age, ethnicity or work status, by providing a free and confidential service on work related issues. We work primarily with women who are not represented by a union, their own lawyer or other advocate.

Our objective is to increase women's participation in and contribution to workplace arrangements that improve their income and conditions, including:

Women who work in precarious and/or low status employment

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women

Women from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds

Women in regional or remote areas

Women with disabilities

Women with family responsibilities

Young women

Women of mature age

Women on subclass 457 visas working in Australia

Women entering or re-entering the workforce

We:

Provide information, advice and support to women on work issues

Initiate and implement training programs on working women's issues

Respond to specific issues related to cultural diversity in the workplace

Develop resources on issues facing women in the workforce

Work with unions in their efforts to gain true equality for women members
